The Best Beach Games for Families, Friends, and Large Groups

Typically, booking a beach vacation means planning to sit and lounge on the sand and, if the conditions are right, get into the ocean. When booking a vacation to Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman, you get to enjoy one of the most pristine beaches in the world.

But while relaxing and sunbathing are certainly enjoyable, it may be a little boring for some travelers. Fortunately, there is a wide array of beach-centric games you can play to pass the time and create lasting memories.

Whether you’re traveling with young kids or a large group, we’ve compiled a list of fun games that can appeal to virtually all age groups and fitness levels. Best of all, if you stay at the South Bay Beach Club, you can literally walk out to the sand from the resort.

Sand Pictionary

If you’re familiar with the game Pictionary, it involves getting your team to guess what it is you’re drawing. But if you have sand and sticks at your disposal, why waste a pen and paper? The beach is your canvas, and who doesn’t love drawing in the sand?

Crab Walk Race

Crab walking means lying on your back and using your hands and feet to move. It’s a challenging thing to do, and all the more fun for it. Simply draw a finish line on the beach and have everyone race! Then, to cool off, you can all jump into the water.

Beach Bucket Race

This game requires a few items, but they should be easy to find on the island. Set up two teams in two lines with a large bucket at the end of each line. Then, poke holes in smaller buckets.

Teams will use these small buckets to fill the large buckets with water collected from the shore. To make it harder and more fun, players must pass the small, leaking bucket over their heads. The first team to fill their large bucket wins!

Beach Limbo

Since you’ll be in the Caribbean, you may as well try your hand at a classic Caribbean pastime! For this, all you’ll need is a long stick or piece of driftwood. Everyone will take turns walking underneath it. Once the last person goes, the people holding the wood lower it a little more. Anyone who touches the wood is out, and the last person standing wins!
